Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (tantric Buddhism)Amṛtakaṇikā (अमृतकणिका) is the name of a commentary on the Mañjuśrīnāmasaṃgīti authored by Raviśrījñāna.—Vibhūticandra’s sub-commentary is called the Amṛtakaṇikoddyota.—We also know that the Amṛtakaṇikā is one of Raviśrījñāna’s earlier works, because he refers to it in his Guṇabharaṇī (Sferra 2000, 100).
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources.
